There are 5 flight lines available that you access from the same metro stations. The metrocable line that takes you to the highest area of the city is "line K" but take this for the day you go to Arví Park, which we will explain later. For this day, it is better to go to the San Javier station to change to the "J line" so that you can see the entire commune 13 from above.
Metrocable in MedellínThe tour consists of taking the car from that station to La Aurora station and you return in the same car. Then, outside the San Javier station, you get on a bus that takes you to the part of commune 13 where they have installed escalators so that tourists can tour the neighborhoods of this area that are on the mountain.
The tour of this tourist site is one of the good things about Medellín due to the transformation that the commune underwent; It went from being the most dangerous city in the world to becoming a center of opportunities for urban artists and its inhabitants through tourism. The plan is to take a tour of all the works of urban art such as graffiti, dance, and music. In the graffiti tour, a guide will explain each one along with its history, it lasts a little over two hours and in the same neighborhood, there are restaurants for lunch.

Outside the station, you must take a taxi that will take you 10 minutes to its entrance. The Castle is very striking because its external architecture is quite photogenic and for being the museum with the largest collection of Decorative Arts in Medellín. Here you can explore its corners, observe the exhibited works and even have a family picnic with the children in its gardens.
At the end of the afternoon after you have finished the visit to the Castle, take a taxi to go to the Poblado. This is one of the best places to visit in Medellín at night and one of the most famous neighborhoods because you will find bars, hostels, restaurants, and cafes with a wide variety of styles. Go specifically to Lleras park, which is like the meeting point of this pink zone. For this day you can start the night with dinner in a restaurant, have a beer in a bar and then continue the party in one of the discos. The time when more people are seen (especially foreigners) is after 9:00 pm.

Other plans that you can do in the following days are to walk through the Botanical Garden and explore the park. The Botanical Garden is one of the best places to visit in Medellín because it is ideal to disconnect from the city and enjoy its fauna and flora. Next to it is explora park, another museum that has a planetarium and a 3D theater.
It also allocates a day for hiking in Arví Park. It is one of the most visited tourist attractions because it has a 16,000-hectare forest, activities in connection with nature and because admission is free. To get there you must take the K cable metro line and then the L line within the same station.
Lastly, having a picnic day in the city of the Medellín river and shopping at El Tesoro Parque Comercial is a plan that you can do if you have extra time.
